Lychee product overview

Lychee is valued for its floral, tropical aroma and clean fruit sweetness. In manufacturing, lychee ingredients are often used to lift premium beverage profiles, build exotic multi-fruit blends, and support dessert and dairy formulations that need a distinctive aromatic top note.

When to choose each format

  • Juice concentrate: logistics efficiency + flexible dosing for RTD and flavor bases.
  • NFC juice: single-strength option when a fresher sensory profile is the priority (often cold chain).
  • Puree: body + authentic fruit character; pulp level can be aligned to mouthfeel needs.
  • Powder: dry handling for drink mixes, bakery, and dry systems.
  • Frozen: year-round access; program-dependent formats for smoothies and culinary use.

What drives success in lychee sourcing

  • Aroma protection: specify storage lane and processing constraints that preserve delicate notes.
  • Clarified vs. pulpy: choose based on whether you need clarity or fruit texture.
  • Solids + acidity: align °Brix/solids and pH range to your finished product targets.
  • Documentation: confirm COA, micro limits, origin, and certifications when needed.

Fast scoping: Tell us your end product (clear RTD, cloudy nectar, dairy, bakery) and your process (pasteurized/UHT/retort). We’ll suggest the best lychee format and a quote-ready spec outline.

Available formats

Frozen

Frozen lychee formats used to protect quality and provide year-round access to seasonal crops (program-dependent formats).

What buyers specify

  • Form (IQF, blocks, puree-frozen — varies by program)
  • Frozen chain requirements
  • Micro specs and lot traceability
  • Packaging and pallet configuration

Typical applications

  • Foodservice smoothies
  • Frozen desserts
  • Culinary sauces and applications
  • Low-heat processes that prioritize aroma retention

Juice Concentrate

A clarified or pulpy juice with water removed to increase soluble solids (°Brix). Commonly used for logistics efficiency and formulation flexibility.

What buyers specify

  • Target °Brix
  • Acidity / pH range
  • Flavor profile and aroma intensity
  • Clarified vs. pulpy where applicable
  • Micro limits and shelf-life expectations

Typical applications

  • RTD beverages and syrups
  • Flavor bases and blending
  • Sweetening + flavor adjustment
  • Confectionery flavor systems

Tip: If you need a clear beverage, specify clarified options and share haze tolerance and filtration steps.

NFC Juice

Not-From-Concentrate single-strength lychee juice, typically chilled or frozen to preserve a fresher sensory profile (program dependent).

What buyers specify

  • Single-strength spec (solids, acidity)
  • Chilled vs. frozen logistics
  • Micro and shelf-life targets
  • Pulp level (if applicable)
  • Certifications (e.g., USDA Organic) where available

Typical applications

  • Premium beverages
  • Smoothie and dairy bases
  • Clean-label blends
  • Origin- or season-specific programs

Powder

Dehydrated fruit ingredient (e.g., spray-dried), used when you need low water activity and dry handling.

What buyers specify

  • Carrier system (if applicable) and flow properties
  • Solubility / dispersibility
  • Flavor intensity (aroma impact) and color expectations
  • Moisture and micro limits
  • Packaging and shelf-life targets

Typical applications

  • Instant beverage mixes
  • Dry blends and supplements
  • Bakery mixes
  • Seasoning systems and snacks
  • Natural flavor in dry formats

Puree

Whole fruit processed into a smooth ingredient. Some programs offer controlled particle size for consistent mouthfeel.

What buyers specify

  • Brix / solids and pH
  • Pulp level or sieve/particle spec (if needed)
  • Color and flavor / aroma profile
  • Heat treatment (as applicable)
  • Microbiological limits

Typical applications

  • Smoothies
  • Yogurt fruit prep, ice cream variegates
  • Bakery fillings and glazes
  • Dessert sauces and culinary applications
  • Kids nutrition (program dependent)

Tip: If your process is sensitive to texture, request a sieve spec (or target particle size) and clarify pulp expectations.

Typical specifications (what to ask for)

Specs vary by format and program; this checklist helps your team align quickly.

ParameterHow it’s typically specified
Soluble solids (°Brix / solids)Set per format (concentrate vs. NFC vs. puree; powder program-dependent)
pH / acidityTarget range based on application and process
Clarified vs. pulpyDefine for beverage clarity targets; specify pulp level/turbidity where relevant
Sensory profileFloral intensity target, sweetness perception, off-note exclusions, and consistency requirements
MicrobiologyLimits per program and intended use
CertificationsUSDA Organic / Kosher / others upon request (where available)
PackagingDrums / totes / (aseptic where available); powders in lined cases/bags; frozen in cold-chain packs
StorageAmbient/chilled/frozen depending on format
DocumentationCOA, microbiology, allergen statements, country of origin; additional testing upon request

Applications

Common application paths for lychee ingredients include:

  • Beverages: premium RTD blends, tropical mixes, lemonades, soda bases, functional drinks
  • Dairy: yogurt fruit prep, drinkable yogurt, ice cream and frozen desserts
  • Bakery: fillings, glazes, fruit inclusions, breakfast items
  • Confectionery: gummies, candies, syrups, flavor bases
  • Culinary: dessert sauces, marinades, dressings, specialty applications

Tip: If lychee is the hero flavor, consider NFC or a higher-aroma program; if it’s a supporting note, concentrate or powder may be more efficient.

Processing & stability notes

Aroma sensitivity: Lychee’s floral notes can be sensitive to aggressive thermal processing. If you use UHT/retort, share the process so we can recommend formats/programs that fit your stability needs.

Clarity targets: For clear beverages, specify clarified options and share filtration steps and haze tolerance.

Blend strategy: Many formulations pair lychee with citrus or tropical fruits to balance sweetness and lift aroma. Share your blend components so we can align specs efficiently.

Cold chain: NFC and frozen lanes can better protect fresh notes, but require chilled/frozen handling end-to-end.

Tip: If your sensory target is strict, ask about pre-shipment approvals or reference samples (program dependent).

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates and purees; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. NFC and frozen formats generally require cold chain.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.

Lychee FAQ

Which lychee format is best for premium beverages?

Many premium beverage programs start with NFC for single-strength character, or select a high-aroma concentrate program for dosing flexibility. The best option depends on your process, clarity/pulp target, and cold-chain capability.

What should I send for a fast quote?

Format(s), °Brix/solids, pH/acidity, clarified vs. pulpy (and pulp level if relevant), packaging, annual volume, destination, storage lane, process, timeline, and required documents/certifications.

Can PFVN source organic lychee?

Organic options may be available depending on origin and processor program. Share your target format and volume and we’ll confirm program availability.
